Is it really a binary yes/no value or is it more like:
Most values have some typical variability (so we assume this unless otherwise stated)
Some values were tough shots, but we've recorded the value we got.
Some values are much worse than either of the previous two categories.
Some value are just crap.
It might make sense to provide a range of categories, maybe:
normal, not very good, poor, extremely poor and just a guess :-).
But your story also provides a clue. Did you say you took several shots?
Put those in the data set! Does you software not support multiple azimuths
on the same shot? Shame on it!
<Azimuth value="340"/>
<Azimuth value="337"/>
<Azimuth value="348"/>

Give me a break! My ear was in guano and oil birds were attacking me every
time I turned on my light to take the shot -PAH

This makes me think off another way to categorize such things a tag that
allows the surveyor to say which one they thought was the best, but maybe
not, for I know I'd always be biased toward picking the middle value,
so maybe just:
<Azimuth value="340" goodness="not very good"/>
<Azimuth value="337" goodness="extremely poor"/>
<Azimuth value="348" goodness="okay"/>
A simple program could just take one value, a more sophisticated one
could work with all values.
Also, "Ignore" and "process" assume there is only one place to
"ignore" or "process" something. Is this really the case?
I'd want to lean to a more specific attribute name. But that doesn't
mean I have a good name off the top of my head.
Thoughts?
